Through a
letter on July 10, 2015, to Tina Flournoy, who has been chief of
staff of Bill Clinton, John Podesta asked for the intervention of
Bill Clinton, in order to persuade the Greek PM, Alexis Tsipras, sign a deal with Greece's
creditors. It seems that the response was positive, but Clinton
wanted some more information, and his first question was if the
Americans should exercise pressure on Merkel too.

Tsipras
finally signed a third catastrophic memorandum for Greece after
retreating against the IMF mafia, the Brussels bureaufascists and the
Berlin directorate.

It is not clear whether Clinton spoke to Tsipras about this matter finally. However,
this short letter has a special value because it shows what this blog
supports all the last years: that there is a united front of all
Greece's creditors, as their first priority is to complete the brutal
neoliberal experiment in Greece in order to expand it elsewhere.

There may be
an - obvious now - economic war, mostly between the US and Germany,
probably due to some disagreements concerning some details of the
transatlantic agreements, but this is only a phase after which the
stronger multinationals and banks will survive in order to impose the
new global Feudalism.

This means
that all the tools of the neoliberal oligarchy are absolutely aligned
behind the framework through which this oligarchy will prevail over
people and democracy. As pointed
previously, “We have seen another bad
theatrical performance by the Brussels bureaufascists of the European
Financial Dictatorship (EFD)
and the IMF economic hitmen in the Greek drama. The representatives
of the neoliberal Feudalism pretend that they have different
positions concerning the unsolved puzzle of the Greek debt, while in
reality, they do not care at all about "solving" it, but
only to complete the neoliberal experiment in Greece to the last
detail.”

This letter
also reveals the fact that the Americans were feeling quite insecure
concerning the Greek issue. Apparently they were trying to use every
source available to make sure that Greece will stay under the Western
sphere of influence. Clinton's question on whether Washington was
thinking to exercise some pressure to Merkel too, is one more
indication that a part of the US elite was worried about the fact
that Greece might leave eurozone in case that Berlin would insist on
its hard line. Then, things could become even worse in case that
Greece would decide to approach the Sino-Russian bloc.

Which means
that Tsipras made a very bad estimation during the negotiations. He
didn't see this weakness of the neoliberal front. Instead of keeping
Varoufakis, in order to bring more heat in the negotiations and make
the Americans even more nervous, forcing them to exercise serious
pressure on Berlin, he listened to the most moderates inside his
party and finally surrendered to the neoliberal hyenas.
